The 80-year-old owner, who forgot to hide a large amount of checks and cash in the house, got his money back after 8 years with the help of the police.
Recently, a total of 54.6 million won was found on the ceiling of a multi-family house in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, including checks and cash.
The police, who received a report from the landlord, went to find the owner, but the investigation was difficult because the check was a valid check that had not been reported as lost, and the issuer's contact number was also missing.
It was difficult to find a publisher because a court warrant was also required to verify personal information.
After deliberation, the police perused the register of the house where the money was found and the list of moving households, contacted them one by one, and found the person who seemed to be the owner of the money.
However, this time it was misunderstood as voice phishing, so we couldn't reach him.
In the end, I was able to meet the family of the lost person only after I went to my residence and revealed my police identity.
The loser, in his 80s, kept money somewhere in the house eight years ago, but it is said that he could not remember where he lost it as he moved repeatedly.
